The Richest Person in North Dakota

The title of richest person in North Dakota belongs to Gary Tharaldson according to Forbes, which put out a list of the richest people in each state last month.

Tharaldson is a hotel tycoon who has amassed roughly 350 of them after purchasing his first one in 1982.

According to Forbes, Tharaldson is worth about $930 million. Based on the list of the richest person in each state, North Dakota is one of 7 states whose richest person is not worth an amount in the billions.

But it makes sense that North Dakota has no billionaires. In order to be a billionaire in North Dakota, you would need to work as an anesthesiologist for over 3,530 years!
